We are far from the land of first looks that tell us nothing, because this first look from the emoji movie, which is called EmojiMovie: Express Yourself, tells us everything we need to know [shocked emoji]. The film stars T.J. Miller as an emoji named Gene, “who has a wide range of facial expressions, unlike other emojis living in the messaging app Textopolis” [just what kind of horrible dystopia is Textopolis? thoughtful emoji]. Then, Gene goes on an “app-venture” across the phone to try to find the code to fix himself [brave emoji]. During that quest, Gene gets help from best friend Hi-5 (voiced by James Corden), a literal high-five, and “the code breaker Jailbreak” (Ilana Glazer) [that emoji where you can’t tell if it’s a grin or a grimace]. EmojiMovie: Express Yourself will hit theaters on August 11, 2017 [whale emoji, just because]. In the bottom right corner of the first look, you can see a poop emoji coming to wreak havoc on us all [poop emoji].
